Ingredients
  

For the Truffle Base
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese Substitution: Cream cheese can be used but will alter flavor and texture.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Best for texture; granulated sugar may result in graininess.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Optional for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 tbsp espresso Substitution: Decaf coffee for a kid-friendly version.
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder Extra for dusting.
  • 1 cup ladyfinger crumbs Must be crushed finely; ladyfingers are recommended for best flavor.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate Milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter alternative.
  • 1 oz white chocolate Optional for added sweetness and visual appeal.
For Garnishing
  • mini chocolate chips Optional; add just before the chocolate sets for decoration.

  • spatula
  • parchment-lined baking sheet

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, espresso, and cocoa powder. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in finely crushed ladyfinger crumbs into the creamy mixture until fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Place the tray in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth and glossy.
  7. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. Dust each truffle with cocoa powder and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
  9. Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the coating has hardened.
